Hold up just a second, Notin might be the best poster in here but I'm probably the biggest complainer of complainers....which makes me a complainer? huh, I guess I'm a hypocrite....well....at least I'm self aware!!!

I'm not sure notin is the most knowledgeable, but one them certainly and wouldn't consider you a complainer hugh. Like most of us who know the game and our team well we just speak our minds. It may not sit well with some but honesty and reality is still the best policy and it takes all of us to make the board work. Notin, yourself and me included don't do anything to get kicked off like many so we must be fine in the eyes of the MODS.

Of course, my horse! It wasn't a deliberate Bill-baiting...in fact it wasn't Bill-related at all.

To be honest, it wasn't even very funny or clever IMO...I'm just so sick and effffing tired of the complainers I responded to a post randomly and one of my favourite and most-respected posters, Notin, happened to have taken the same anti-complaining, anti-fact stance I agree with.

Of the few respondents, only one person didn't get it. How unsurprising....

Look, I have to go out now. In case there is any doubt, Notin is among the posters here I respect the most and I felt - and am still certain - he would understand the joke, as weak and obvious as I thought it was, was about the complaining complainers he was jokingly complaining about. Durr. Only Captain Obvious didn't get it.

SparkySpawn (;-))- I totally disagree with your point about Notin being "dismissive". I don't see it like that at all. I admit I tend to agree with Notin's views generally, and get frustrated when people dismiss things they don't understand because they "understand" baseball or because they "know what they see", or don't understand historical things like the (1974) Reserve Clause. But I love people like Notin that have the clear, simple ability to present their logical, fact-based dispassionate views and then let people to swing on their own rope.

If Notin - or Hill - presents a general garment of ignorance and someone claims it's cut to their size? ...

notin is the best and most baseball knowledgeable poster on this site.

I think you are, moon, always have and you prove that often with outstanding research and thoughtful posts. I don't always agree with you, but I find you the Most Interesting Sox Fan In the World.

Notin is smart, but he's also dismissive. You understand people are entitled to their opinions and you try to be cordial. I don't have the patience with some posters that you do.

Thanks.

I will say that notin knows more about other team's players than I do, that's why I said "baseball knowledge" - not necessarily Red Sox knowledge for which there are several very knowledgeable posters here.

Notin likes to talk about himself in the 3rd person....reminds me of what we used to do here way long time ago, 1990s in Sox CanLand chat...We had special Third Person Chat days. Cater thinks it's wicked cool that notin has a plan.
